Naija Team Of The Week......Compiled By Ayodele Fasusi and Ademetan Abayomi

•Chigozie Agbim (Eagles B)
If Eagles B have an excellent show in the CHAN, which is possible, then most fans may well look back at the fixture against CIV, where Agbim had to be at his best to make two great saves in the last 10 minutes of the 2nd leg. He gets the nod ahead of Enyimba's Femi Thomas.


•Leon Balogun (Fortuna Dusseldorf)
I've seen the Nigerian perform for Fortuna on a few occasions last season but against Cologne there was a maturity and confidence in his performance I hadn't seen before. This team is finally starting to look like a well-run outfit.

•Nanso Edo (Akwa United)
The mercurial skipper of United had a good game against Enugu Rangers and such performance should earn him a move abroad.

•Uchendu Udorji (Enyimba International)
Enyimba look a different outfit with this man in the team. He has rallied his followers to re-ignite a new beginning for the Peoples Elephants. Enyimba has jumped to top-three of the GNPL log because of Udorji's calming influence.

•Akeem Latifu (Hodd)
A player who has adjusted to the new order at Hodd and is looking very comfortable. It won't take long before this young man is handed his break in the national side.

•Izunna Uzuchukwu (Midtjylland)
Midtjylland have started the on a good note with 6 points from 2 matches. Izu was a roaring lion against Copenhagen on Sunday.

•Haruna Lukman (Dynamo Kiev)

Last week, he provided an assist for Mbokani. One thing that is part of his game is the ability to hit target. I've seen the Nigerian international have better games. He scored over the weekend and deserves his place.

•Musa Najare (Warri Wolves)
Musa Najare is a consistent player in the colours of Warri Wolves. His performance against Niger Tornadoes was once again superb. He has been one of the major reasons why Wolves are still in the running to lift the NFF Fed Cup and grab one of the continental slots.

•Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow)
Musa completely destroyed Lokomotiv Moscow with his pace. All credit to CSKA because they have stuck to their guns and kept faith with a young man who has been subjected to criticism by the Nigerian press for his below par show in the national side.

•Emmanuel Emenike (Spartak Moscow)
Emmanuel Emenike and Spartak exposed Dinamo Moscow's frailty with their first attack. No wonder Nigeria manager Keshi missed his bullish character during the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.

•Samson Kayode Olaleye (Ha Noi T&T)
Olaleye is a name the strikes phobia to defenders in Vietnam. He edged Jude Nworuh to complete the team of the week.
